Get ready for a night of powerful music and purpose — Rock artist and human rights defender Ramy Essam is one of the most powerful voices to emerge from the Egyptian Revolution — and he’s bringing that energy to Greenwood Social Hall.

Blending hard rock, grunge, hip-hop influences, and Egyptian musical roots, Ramy delivers music that is both raw and revolutionary. Singing in Egyptian Arabic and English, his work confronts injustice, amplifies unheard voices, and reminds us that music can be a force for change.

Born in Mansoura, Egypt, Ramy rose to international prominence during the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, performing in Tahrir Square as hundreds of thousands of protesters sang along to his songs. His track “Irhal” — a direct, unyielding call for freedom — became the unofficial anthem of the revolution, helping to define a historic moment in modern history.

Why You Should Be There:
• Music with meaning: Ramy blends fierce rock energy with Egyptian rhythms and hip-hop influences — and he writes and performs in both Egyptian Arabic and English.
• Voice of resistance: His songs tackle corruption, censorship, human rights, gender equality, and social justice with courageous honesty.
• Global recognition: Ramy has received prestigious international awards including the Václav Havel Prize for Creative Dissent and the Premio Grup Yorum Award in Italy — honors shared with artists like Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits — and has been called the “rock Bob Dylan of the Middle East.”
• Resilience & impact: Although his music was banned in Egypt and he was forced into exile, Ramy continues to tour worldwide, creating art that challenges oppression and inspires hope.

His videos have racked up over 30 million views online, and songs like Segn Bel Alwan and Lessa Bahinlha have become global favorites for their messages of solidarity and empowerment.

“Music is the strongest peaceful weapon in the world.”
— Ramy Essam
